ON THE MENU WEEK OF APRIL 23RD

My grocery list is filling up with more and more fresh fruits and lots of veggies, especially salad greens! May is almost here and that means so many more fresh and locally sourced produce in the grocery aisles! I’m even getting asparagus and lettuces and spinach from our garden. Here’s what’s ON THE MENU this week…

 

MONDAY

Happy Anniversary my darling Bobby! Marrying you 35 years ago was one of the best things I have ever done. You are the love of my life and my best friend. I hope we have at least another 35 years together to make more sweet memories! I love you SOOOOOOOOO!

I think this year we will have a cozy, romantic dinner together and celebrate more on the weekend!

I have not made soup for a few weeks and really miss the smell of divine soup cooking on my cooktop. I’m doubling the recipe and freezing some for lunches! This is absolutely the best chicken noodle soup. And there are a few secrets that I share about making this soup AMAZING!

SATURDAY

When I do Chinese take-out it’s Cashew Chicken. But today I’m making my own in ONE skillet version! Easy cleanup and a great meal. I’ll be substituting the pea pods for lots of celery.

SUNDAY

I was raised on salmon cakes. Back in the day, my Mom used canned salmon and no veggies. But today I’m using lots of gorgeous fresh salmon and onions and red peppers. I’m sooooo excited for these delicious bites!

    Happy Aniversary to you! It is our Aniversary too! We have been married 23 years today, the 23rd of April!! Unlike you, I have not planned a romantic dinner…Shame on me. I did bake a pound cake yesterday…does that count? Salmon cakes are my favorite and I can’t wait to try your recipe. I don’t know where you find the time to do everything AND raise fresh garden vegetables., you are amazing. Blessings to you and Bobby for many more wonderful years together.

    Yvonne, Salmon Cakes are a favorite of mine. Daddy use to make Salmon Soup. I can make that too. He and Mama are no longer living but I can make Salmon Cakes. Mama’s specialty was the Salmon Cakes. Oh I think I will have to make some soon. Yvonne, I think I will try the red peppers and onions.

  14. Happy Anniversary Yvonne and Bobby. My husband and I just had our 50th in Feb.and I love to hear about other happy marriages. It takes a lot of work,patience and love but so worth it.
    I am going to make those yummy salmon cakes and homemade target sauce for tomorrows dinner and serve with fresh spinach from our garden. So healthy maybe I will make those vanilla bean tarts for dessert.
    Have a wonderful week.

  15. Great menu!! Can’t wait to try spinach puff pastry!! And the salmon cakes. thank you!!!

  16. Menu sounds absolutely delicious.
    Wondering who the bee silverware is made by, I love it.
    Do you sell it? Thank you and have a wonderful week.

  17. We also love salmon cakes, so I’ll give yours a try. For an easy switch, try using the recipe on the Old Bay can for Crab Cakes, and use 3 cans of tuna (in water, drained), and 2 slices of bread ( crumbed in the food processor). This is a newer family favorite of ours. Thanks for all the great food inspiration.

  18. Where is the recipe for the P.F. Chang’s green beans? The link goes to the fish again. Thanks, Tina

    PS So glad you left the flowers out of “flowerless chocolate cake!” 🙂
